[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1154607, member: 82144"] Great, and don't worry about it. :) No, a firewall definitely can't do that. Without log files I'm out on a limb speculating a bit here... For awhile I've been aware of an issue with the component used for receiving the stream from CableCARD tuners (the IPTV filter) that may be causing the crash. If you're willing to be a bit of a "guinea pig" I can provide a patch that [I]may[/I] give you more stability. The patch has had a little bit of testing internally, so we know it is basically functional. Are you up for it? If you don't want to try the patch (or the patch doesn't solve the problem), it might be easier to simply reconfigure the service to restart automatically. I run Windows XP still, but I'm pretty sure the following options should be available on newer versions of Windows too. If you open the list of services (services.msc), find the "TVService", right click, select "properties", go to the "recovery" tab... [ATTACH=full]169965[/ATTACH] ...there you should be able to change the "take no action" options to "restart the service". Hope that helps. :) mm [/QUOTE]
